mcg_ Posted February 4, 2019 Share Posted February 4, 2019 I spent some serious time on the forum here reading opinions on the various turbo options (specifically, trying to find any info if a HTA68/TD05 on E85 is "better" than a 18g/TD05 on E85 - seems inconclusive....), and my random thought is..... It is disheartening to see all the folks come-and-go from this 5th gen group, AND I WILL NEVER BE GETTING RID OF MY 5th GEN! Who's with me?!

moral hazard Posted February 4, 2019 Share Posted February 4, 2019 (edited) Exactly how different is the 2015 wrx turbo compressor outlet compared to ours? I seen a really nice mishimoto fmic kit I would love to have. You might be able to get away with buying an extra silicone bend, hard to tell. I guess it depends on what comes in the kit. Do you have a link? If you look at them side by side (vf 54 on the left, mgt2259s right) the compressor outlet seems like a similar flange but it's not in the exact same position: Edited February 4, 2019 by moral hazard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Falcor Posted February 6, 2019 Share Posted February 6, 2019 I think I've decided to get a set of winter tires and wheels for next winter. It iced in KC last night and I actually spun all 4 tires when letting out the clutch in stop and go traffic (because of an accident). First time that happened in this car.

It iced in KC last night and I actually spun all 4 tires when letting out the clutch in stop and go traffic (because of an accident). First time that happened in this car. For a little contrast, I was driving home in some fresh snow last night (maybe an inch, tops), and with snow tires, I had to build probably 3-4 pounds of boost in order to break the tires loose after leaving a stop light. It's pretty amazing how much of a difference the right tires make. I had one of those insta-drift moments leaving a stop sign the other day with the Baja (all-seasons)- kinda fun, but not on public roads...

islandborn Posted February 7, 2019 Share Posted February 7, 2019 My 10 year old daughter wants my car when she starts driving.... um, maybe, but I'll have a "daughter" map on my AP that limits the boost to 2psi. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FLlegacy Posted February 7, 2019 Share Posted February 7, 2019 oh come on at least let her have 5 I couldn't do it, my baby will have a crosstrek or something along those lines. And it will be a turd for sure, I will have it detuned just for that purpose. Let her know what is feels like to drive a V8 with a one barrel carb so to speak.

dgoodhue Posted February 7, 2019 Share Posted February 7, 2019 My son is likely getting a 2.5i Legacy Or Outback. I know what I did with cars as quiet teenager. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GTEASER Posted February 7, 2019 Share Posted February 7, 2019 My son originally had his eye on a GD WRX. Told him no way, no turbo. He's looking forward to a 4th Gen Legacy 2.5i though, so at least I got him off the turbo. He will be 15 in July so the time is near.

foxrider28 Posted February 7, 2019 Share Posted February 7, 2019 So for those that may recall... I'm now a proud first time parent as of Jan 28th! Little boy named Solomon James. Came 1 week early but still was 7lb 6oz and 20in. He is in great health as is momma, and we are getting a lot more sleep than I expected us to get thanks to little man being as perfect as a newborn could be with no issues except he's eating more than momma can produce so we're having to sub in formula a little bit but he seems to do great with either one.

foxrider28 Posted February 7, 2019 Share Posted February 7, 2019 CONGRATS!!!!..... you gonna let him have a turbo on his first car?If that is what he wants yes, of course with turbos becoming a normal thing in the passenger car world for power/economy I think it's safe to bet it will be a standard thing when he starts to drive unless we go full passenger drone by then.

Scooby Fan Posted February 8, 2019 Share Posted February 8, 2019 Does anyone else have this issue with the forum?? Quite often when I try to make a post I get this "Warning" that tells me to wait before I can post again. This forum requires that you wait 20 seconds between posts. Please try again in 5 seconds. These are always when I am making my first post of the day....haven't posted anything for hours or even days. I just got it again this morning when I posted a reply to another thread and it was my first post since yesterday. What's causing this?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're awesome!!! (for the formula, don't be surprised if he gets a little constipated - that tends to happen if you sub in formula, or if you even change formula brands - it's pretty normal) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
